They now spend most of the evening playing with their wives and children. He said I learnt that home duties are not meant for women alone. If the woman is preparing food, the man must also bathe the children. Also if the woman has a baby and that child is disturbing the mother while she is pounding fufu, the man can carry the child and play with him or her. That will improve the growth of the family. If you go to the farm, don t expect the woman alone to carry the load to the house like (food stuffs) but you can help the woman to carry the load because both of you worked on the farm. You can help the woman to cut fire wood. The man must carry the food stuffs so that the woman also carries the firewood [Focus Group Discussion, Community Member]. the Gender and Diversity activity has brought peace to many homes because now most men are helping their wives, which is lessening the burden on the women and this has contributed in bringing peace to most homes.
